Modern Buddy

Several reasons for the name choice, in no particular order:

1. Uni mascot (Graceland University Yellowjackets)
2. Sting fan!
3. Bee color (for Longaberger Basket Bee, which is our convention we have every year)
4. It sounds dangerous!
5. Just because.

If I'd gone to Univ of Iowa, he might have been named Herky...but that just sounds weird. My son is there, so I might have to put a little Hawkeye cling on the windscreen anyway.

Guess I'll try to get "Sting" for a personalized plate when I get my tags next month, if it's available. If not, well then, I'll have to hunt the guy/gal down that has it and offer money for his/plate. LOL

Apologies if this pic is too large-I couldn't get a smaller one to look decent! BTW, kudos to Maplewood Scooter Company!

Sweet! Welcome to the club. Now go out and ride!

And Bilbo's sword! Great choice for scooter and name if you ask me..

Looking good on the new scoot. You'll have a lot of fun.

Is that the sunset orange? Regardless thats on of my favorite color Buddys plus people can SEE you, which is half the battle.

That is a great color. Congratulations!

Nice lookin' scoot. Ride safe!

Excellent! Welcome to the STL scooter community (just in time for an arctic cold front ).

You chose.......wisely.

Glad to see you took the no-pics-doesn't-exist to heart!

Geniune calls the color "orange". My friends call it dreamsicle.

Thanks, gang! Yeah, thanks to **name your fave weather personality** it's going to be 12F this weekend. It sounds like this weekend might at least be sorta sunny.....I'm not looking forward to riding in the snow/rain/ice/mixed/sleet.....not yet, anyway!

I think it's officially "tangerine," but I'm just calling it "71 Dodge Colt yellow/orange" because it's the same color as my first car. The DH swears he's gonna get a "YELLOW" decal for the back, since it's the same color as Yellow trucks.

Yeah, wait on the snow ...

But find some cold sunny days and ride...

Nice color, my stella is orange

I fondly call it "Macaroni and Cheese." It's an excellent color, and it looks great with that blue jacket!

Nice! I love that color!
Someone in the Schenectady area has a red one, and one that color. Very bright and visible!

I second "Macaroni and Cheese" as my one friend has one of the newer Mustangs in that color, and he calls it the Velveeta mobile.

Hahaha! Yeah, definitely Kraft mac/cheese color for sure! Thanks, now I'm hungry.

Hmmm....name possibility if I can't get the tag I want....

Mayor MacCheese! Or is that too cornball?

Congrats, sweet looking scoot and a great color.

The orange ones are the fastest too.

Don't tell my mom that! LOL

Welcome! Great color choice and name!

So are the red ones.

In fact, pretty much all of the Buddy colors are the fastest.

Great scooter, great name! Welcome to the bliss (well, AFTER the twelve degree weather is over!).
